Re: QCX to QLG1 cable: what are people using?
|
Jerry,?
On all my U1s, U2s, U3s and now my QCX I use USB A for the GPS (and QLG1) and USB B on the Tx. That way I use a printer cable? USB A<>USB B as they often hav a ferrite slug and are well Shielded.?

Is this right and what are people using?
thanks so much

¡°?All that is required is a 4-way shielded cable...?We recommend a few meters of shielded cable, to keep the GPS receiver away from interference.?The cable shield should be connected to ground at the [U3S] end only, not the QLG1 end. 2m or 3m of cable is typically a good length to use.¡±
